Never write about the opposite sex unless you are the opposite sex.

Writing women is easy, just think of a man and take away all his advantages. Then, have that character bitch about how tough everything is.

Tbh, just write like a person, then make that person happen to be female, if that makes sense

>> No.638271

when a woman writes about an idealized man: he is handsome, an asshole, rich, his wife/girlfriend/other female figure is the most important thing in the world to him.

when a man writes about an idealized woman: she is pretty, intelligent, and wants to be taken seriously.
